Comments

This former Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Mena Creek celebrated its last Mass on 28/1/1968, and the property was then sold. The church building was opened and blessed on 13/7/1958. While the first Mass in Mena Creek was celebrated in 1928, it was many years before the community could afford to erect a church building. No other details are known.More historical information/photographs of the former church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 10/6/2018 & 15/6/2021.
